Quoting the Raven

There’s a rumor that Subway is coming out with a new line of sandwiches named after famous people. Tom Brady. Serena Williams. Stephen Curry. Wait! What? Stephen Curry? You can’t name a sandwich after someone with a food in their name unless that food is actually in the sandwich. Huh-uh. Having written that, here’re some names we would hesitate to name sandwiches after:

  •          The Kevin Bacon – maybe for a breakfast sandwich
  •          The Eddie Rabbit – Maybe, just maybe, you could serve this at "I Hop". Maybe.
  •          The Larry Bird – tastes like chicken?
  •          The Eddie Raven – Nevermore!
  •          The Ethan Hawke – Nah
  •          The Heart – People will think it's beef heart. Or pork heart. Why don't we ever see pork heart?
  •          The Bob Griese Sandwich – “The sandwich you don’t have to chew!” Nope

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” may be the only poem to have been made into a movie. It was also made into a not so great song by The Alan Parsons Project. And a football team is even named after it. That’s some poem! But that’s enough. There’s no need to name a sandwich after it.
